As good as forwards Akil Mitchell and Darion Atkins were in Virginia’s 46-38 victory over Tennessee on Wednesday, and have been during the Cavaliers’ six-game winning streak, they are hardly finished products.

Consider three late possessions with Virginia clinging to a 38-33 lead.

First Jordan McRae stripped Mitchell in the low post for a steal. Then Atkins, after a sweet pump fake, missed a layup. Finally, Mitchell failed to aggressively pursue Paul Jesperson’s entry pass, allowing Jarnell Stokes to step in front for a steal.
